Barren Grounds

Went to barren grounds nature reserve for what wil probably be the last time as Allan finally managed to see the ground parrot. Sadly I didn't get any good photos of the parrot but did get a reasonable one of the beautiful firetail.

Whale watching

Twice a year the whales migrate past Sydney and put on quite a good display. We decided to go to kurnell and have a look. There were a few hundred other punters there but the vast majority stayed within 50 m of their cars so the cliffs were pretty quiet which meant we could do a bit of bird watching as well. In the end we saw 2 or 3 humpback whales and more importantly a magnificent male southern emu wren.
